The forums that decide domain disputes
A domain dispute is decided by a forum, not a court, for most gTLDs. We work in the accredited UDRP providers — WIPO, FORUM, CAC and ADNDRC — and the national bodies for ccTLDs. Each has its own procedure, panelists and fee schedule; the policy they apply is the same.
